Overview
- A woman working as a nanny was allegedly attacked while walking with the child she cared for when a man approached with a baseball bat, struck her multiple times and then fled, and a bystander stopped to help.
- The victim suffered serious injuries to her head, arms, and hands, had surgery for fractures, and remains hospitalized according to her husband.
- Sugar Land Police confirmed an active investigation and are canvassing the area for surveillance footage and witnesses because they say there is little to go on.
- One local report says police describe the suspect as a taller, heavier-built man in his 30s or 40s who fled in an older-model SUV, but authorities have not released a full, confirmed description or motive.
- The victim's family is urging anyone with information to call Sugar Land police at 281-275-2020 or Fort Bend County Crime Stoppers, and investigators say tips or video could be crucial to identifying the attacker.
